MCQ
An incandescent filament emits a spectrum which is:
- Aline spectrum
- Bband spectrum
- ✓continuous spectrum
- Dcharacteristic spectrum
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
continuous spectrum
An electric bulb, a candle or a red hot iron piece emits light, which has continuously varying wavelengths.
So it shows continuous emission spectrum.

Two capacitors of equal capacitance $(C_1 = C_2)$ are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch $S$ is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge $Q_0$.
